OTTAWA — Former Conservative staffer Dion Ahwai has been charged with mischief to data, the RCMP said Wednesday, with sources saying the charge is related to an investigation of the alleged theft of materials from Erin O'Toole's Zoom account during the 2020 leadership race.
After the allegations emerged, Greg McLean, a Calgary MP who supported O'Toole, fired a summer student employee in connection to the apparent breach. The RCMP did not confirm the link between the charge and that investigation on Wednesday. But two sources with knowledge of the matter said the Mounties told senior members of O'Toole's former leadership campaign about the charge on Tuesday.
The RCMP stipulated that the"mischief to data" charge Ahwai is facing has to do with the obstruction, interruption or interference with the lawful use of computer data, as outlined in the Criminal Code. The firm also employs ex-MP Brian Storseth, who was co-campaign chair for MacKay's 2020 leadership run, as a principal.
